Question

I just spent a lot of time debugging a problem setting up twiki and I thought I'd share, for your information.

My initial installation was having all kinds of problems with links looking like this:

http://community.sunsetcoop.orghttp://community.sunsetcoop.org/twiki/bin/view

• TWiki version: 01 Sep 2001
• Web server: Apache
• Server OS: Slackware Linux 7.1
• Web browser:
• Client OS:

Answer

I finally traced it back to the value being returned by the CGI query object you initialize at the beginning of each script. this query was returning the mangles URL above ($query-url).

I upgraded CGI.pm from version 2.56 (which ships with slackware 7.1) to 2.78, along with moving from the distribution installed version of perl (5.6.0) to 5.6.1. Either of these mods might have fixed the problem, but I'm not looking any further since it works now, and I have other priorities

Anyway, I thought you might like to know about this, in case it crops up somewhere else.

Thanks for a great app btw.
